Aine Sherlock: Difference between revisions

Despite achieving high marks in school, Aine often feels self-doubt. At times can seem nervous, especially around new authority figures as she does not want to let them down. She will often bite her lower lip when nervous. When focused, seems to drown out the world around her, seeming to others to be “distracted.” Very rarely loses her cool, outwardly, as she keeps tries to keep any panic internalized. She often prefers to be alone and limits off hours social interaction, though will most likely not turn down an invite as she works on trying to learn to connect to others more. Her off time is often spent on hobbies: reading, playing violin, electronic tinkering. She is also an avid archer and won "The Robin Hood" award for high score at an interplanetary competition while on the Academy archery team. Enjoyed gymnastics and still practices as a form of exercise, though never took it too serious as a sport. Drinks recreatively on occasion, with the tolerance of an Irish dock worker on a Friday night. Having found a kinship with the character of Sherlock Holmes in her childhood, which also happens to be her families surname, she chose to study investigative science in secondary school...she has grown tired of the jokes and “comparisons” to one of her favorite characters. Loves a good mystery. She comes from a traditionally Catholic area, and it shows in some of her beliefs, though religion was not seen as important in her household. At times this can cause her guilt in the choices she has made.

Aine was born in the year 2374 in County Cork, Ireland. She was fairly sheltered as a child and her parents rarely had them travel outside of Ireland. She grew up on their family farm where her father grew fresh foods for the local community and her mother wrote, mostly novels and short stories. She took up violin and archer at a young age. Never practicing to the point she could be a professional at either. Had a habit of taking apart her fathers equipment just to see how it worked which lead her to tinker with various electronics. Upon graduating from secondary school, Aine decided she wanted to see more than just Ireland and decided bigger was better and told her parents she intended to apply for Starfleet Academy. Initially her parents were resistant to the idea but when they saw how much she wanted to go, the fully supported her. She barely got into the Academy on her first try.
